Which of the following is NOT an access modifier in Java?

Concept

An access modifier is a Java language keyword placed in a declaration to control where a class or member can be accessed.

For class members, Java provides the explicit modifiers public, protected, and private; package-private access is obtained by writing no access modifier.

Application

Classify each offered term by checking whether it is a Java keyword used to declare an access level.

Contrast of the offered values

• public is an explicit Java access modifier that allows the broadest visibility permitted by the declaration context.

• private is an explicit Java access modifier that limits member access to the enclosing class.

• protected is an explicit Java access modifier that permits package access and also supports subclass access subject to Java rules.

• accessible is an English adjective used to describe reachability; it is not a Java access-modifier keyword.

Cross-check

Oracle Java documentation lists member access as public, protected, private, or package-private with no modifier. The word accessible does not appear in that modifier set.

Result

Therefore, accessible is the offered term that is not a Java access modifier.
